Mac Tonnies’ Crypto-terrestrials aren’t so crypto after all?

In this book [The Viking Press, NY, 1972]…

which I was glancing through Thanksgiving night, was this
(on page 20 ff.):

“The South American Secret City faith seems to reach its
extreme point, through unrelated to geography or to the history of El Dorato,
in a certain contemporary Brazilian cult’s belief in the city of
Matatu-Araracuanga. It exists, hidden underground, somewhere in the Mata
Grosso, and it is the abode of the Hidden Rulers of the World and home base of
flying saucers sent out on reconnaissance flights to keep the world in order…”

The author is this man, Raymond H. Ramsay:

Here’s the blurb from the book about him:

Ramsay’s visage indicates an unconventional person, whom I
tend to eschew, but his writing and erudition is superb.

So, I Googled “South American Secret City” and found
references to a rather contemporary secret city which involved Tesla, Marconi,
flying saucers, death rays, and other sci-fi-like elements.

Here are excerpts and links to a fascinating and little
known or esoteric bit of history:

Marconiwas given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1909 jointly withKarl Ferdinand Braun, who made
important modifications which considerably increased the range of the first
Marconi transmitters.

Like Tesla, Marconi was a mysterious man in his later years and was known to
perform exotic experiments, including some inanti-gravity, aboard his
yacht Electra. Marconi's yacht was a floating super-laboratory, from which he
sent signals into space and lit lights in Australia in 1930. He did this with
the aid of an Italian physicist namedLandiniby sending wave train signals through
the earth, much as Tesla had done in Colorado Springs.

In June of 1936 Marconi demonstrated to Italian Fascist dictatorBenito Mussolinia wave gun device that could be used
as a defensive weapon. In the 1930s such devices were popularized as death rays
as in a Boris Karloff film of the same name.Marconidemonstrated the ray on a busy highway
north of Milan one afternoon.

Mussolini had asked his wife Rachele to also be
on the highway at precisely 3:30 in the afternoon. Marconi's device caused the
electrical systems in all the cars, including Rachele's, to malfunction for half
an hour, while her chauffeur and other motorists checked their fuel pumps and
spark plugs. At 3:35 all the cars were able to start again.Rachele Mussolinilater published this account in her
autobiography.

Mussolini was quite pleased with Marconi's invention. However, it is said thatPope Pius XIlearned about the paralyzing rays and
took steps to have Mussolini stop Marconi's research.

According to Marconi's followers,Marconi then, after faking his own
death, took his yacht to South America in 1937.

SECRET
CITY IN SOUTH AMERICA
A number of European scientists were said to have gone with Marconi, including
Landini. In 1937, the enigmatic Italian physicist and alchemistFulcanelliwarned European physicists of the
grave dangers of atomic weapons and then mysteriously vanished a few years
later. He is believed to have joined Marconi's secret group in South America.

Ninety-eight scientists were said to have gone to South America where they
built a city in an extinct volcanic crater in the southern jungles of
Venezuela. In their secret city, financed by the great wealth they had created
during their lives, they continued Marconi's work onsolar energy,cosmic energy, andanti-gravity. Working secretly
and apart from the world's nations, they built free-energy motors and
ultimatelydiscoid aircraftwith a form of gyroscopic
anti-gravity.

And This:

SECRET CITY IN SOUTH
AMERICA

TESLA TECHNOLOGY

Genovese claimed that the city had been built with large financial resources,
was under-ground, and had better research facilities than any other research
facility in the world (at that time, at least). By 1946 the city already used a
powerful collector of cosmic energy, the essential component of all matter, according to Marconi´s theories,many of which he had derived from
Tesla.

In 1952, according to Genovese, we traveled above all the seas and continents
in a craft whose energy supply was continuous andpractically inexhaustible. It reached
a speed of half a million miles an hour and withstood enormous pressures, near
the limit of resistance of thealloys that composed it. The problem was to slow it down at just the right
time.

According to Genovese, the city is located at the bottom of a crater,is mostly underground, and is entirely
self-sufficient. The extinctvolcano
is covered in thick vegetation, is hundreds of miles from any roads,and is at thirteen thousand feet in
the jungle mountains of the Amazon.

The French author Charroux expressed surprise and disbelief at the statement
that the city was on a jungle-covered mountain that was13,000 feet high. Yet the eastern side
of the Andean cordillera has many such mountains, from Venezuela to Bolivia, spanning
thousands of miles.

Several such cities and mountains could exist in this vast, unexplored, and
perpetually cloud-covered region.

Yet a secret city in a jungle crater was the least of the claims.

Genovese insisted that flights to the Moon and Mars were
made in their flying saucers. He claimed that once the technology had been
conquered, it was relatively simple to make the trip to the Moon (a few hours)
or Mars (several days). Genovese does not mention pyramids or what theydid on Mars. Perhaps they created a
Martian base in one of the ancient, sand-blown pyramids of the Cydonia region.

There have been many reports of UFOs in South America, especially along the
edge of the mountainous jungles of the eastern Andes, from Bolivia to
Venezuela. Is it possible that some of these UFOs are anti-gravity craft from
the Ciudad Subterranean de los Andes?

In light of highly reliable sources who claim that a Last Battalion of German
solders escaped via sub-marine in the last days of WWII to Antarctica and South
America, it is possible that the Germans may have high-tech super cities in the
remote jungles of South America as well.

A number of military historians such as Col. Howard Buechner, author of Secrets
of the Holy Lance, maintain that the Germans had already created bases in Queen
Maud Land, opposite South Africa during the war.

Afterwards, German U-boats, in some reports as many as
100, took important scientists, aviators and politicians to the final fortress
of Nazi Germany. Two of these U-boats surrendered in Argentina threemonths after the war.

In 1947, the U.S. Navy invaded Antarctica, mainly Queen Maud Land, with Admiral
Byrd in command. The Americans, it is reported, were defeated and several jets
from the four aircraft carriers were said to have BEEN SHOT DOWN BY DISCOID
CRAFT. The Navy retreated and did not return until 1957.

According to the book Chronicle of Akakor, first published in German by the
journalist Karl Brugger, a German battalion had taken refuge in an underground
city on the borders of Brazil and Peru. Brugger, a German journalist who lived
in Manaus, was assassinated in the Rio de Janeiro suburb of Ipanema in 1981.
His guide, Tatunca Nara, went on to become Jacques Cousteau´s guide on the
upper Amazon. In fact, photographs of Tatunca Nara appear in Cousteau´s large
coffee-table book of color photographs called Cousteau´s Amazon Journey.

(For more information on Tatunca Nara, Karl Brugger, underground cities and
Germans see my book "Lost Cities and Ancient Mysteries of South America.")

While the idea of secret cities in South America manufacturing flying saucers
and battling the current powers of the world from their hidden jungle
fortresses may sound too much like the plot of a James Bond movie, it appears
to be rooted in fact! Based upon the above scenario, it may not be totally fantastic to suggest, as some authors have, that Tesla
was picked up during the late 1930s by a flying saucer. Yet it would not have
been a flying saucer from another planet, but one of Marconi´s craft from the
secret city in South America.

In the most incredible scenario so far, and one that may well be true, Tesla
was induced to fake his own death, just as Marconi and many ofthe other scientists had done, and was
taken, by special discoid craft, to Marconi´s high-tech super-city. Away from
the outside world, the military governments, the oil companies, the arms and aircraft manufacturers,
Marconi and Tesla, both supposedly dead, continued their experiments in an
atmosphere conducive to scientific achievement.

Who knows what they may have achieved? They were ten years ahead of the Germans
and twenty years ahead of the Americans in their anti-gravity technology. Could
they have developed discoid spacecraft in the early 1940s, and gone on to time
travel machines and hyperspace drives?

Perhaps Marconi and Tesla went into the future, and have
already returned to the past!

Time travel experiments, teleportation, pyramids on Mars, Armageddon, and an
eventual Golden Age on earth, may all have something to do with Tesla, Marconi
and their suppressed inventions. While UFO experts and former intelligence
agents tell us that flying saucers are extraterrestrial and are being currently retro-engineered by military
scientists, Tesla, Marconi and their friends may be waiting for us at their
space base at the pyramids and Face on Mars.

Our government, Hollywood, and the media have trained us to certain beliefs and
prejudices that amazing technology must be from extraterrestrials visiting our
planet. To the scientist-philosopher who seeks knowledge sometimes truth is
stranger than fiction.

Was Mac Tonnies aware of this arcane material? (I couldn’t
find reference to it in his blog reproduction by Paul Kimball, but book only
consists of the 2003-2004 writings and Tonnies really got into his
crypto-terrestrial hypothesis after that.)

Either way, the idea of a hidden community of persons –
The Hidden Rulers of the World (mentioned by Ramsay) or a secret society of
scientists working on death rays and saucers – while a sci-fi staple, is ingrained
in some minds, and stems from myth, legend, or psychotic musings.

Yet, the idea is not implausible, as Tonnies saw it nor
did those who created the web-sites I’ve cited above.

Such a “crypto-terrestrial” presence would explain or
clarify some UFO sightings and events.

I suspect Mac's choice of "Post Human Blues" as a title for his blog reveals a certain perspective that was expanded when he took the germ of Ray Bradbury's "Martian Chronicles" and expanded that literary metaphor into a Post Martian apocalyptic tale, which I also suspect was the seed for the Cryptoterrestrials which took this theme closer to home with the specter of a post technological society promulgated by ghosts. I think his literary themes can not be taken literally as pointing to a lost technologically superior civilization that remains active in South America. The rumors regarding findings of the latest Martian survey may prove that Mac was onto something, or not. The projection of an alternate identity for our species, whether it is in the Old Testament anthropomorphic God, or Nietzsche'sSuperman or Extraterrestrials, or Jesus and the Roswell Centurions burying, thus murdering the corpus of knowledge was the subject of some recent commentary on my part. This fits neatly as an example of what I call psychological para-politics.

There seems to be a faction in the Ufological community clinging to the slim hope that the science fiction written in the 1930s through 1960s they read in their youth is true (blonde babes in mini skirts cruising the skies in Nazi flying saucers, for example).

What we read and watch at a certain vulnerable age can continue to influence us the rest of our lives. There's an owner of another blog who at the age of 12 saw a schlock made-for-TV film with Barbara Eden about alien abductions and human impregnations and now takes that movie as proof alien abductions and alien-human hybridization are real even though he's way old enough to know better.

I guess the overheated and overactive imaginations we have at puberty are fertile ground for all manner of nonsense taking root in our minds. That's a good reason why parents should be monitoring and interacting with their kids about what they're being exposed to.

purrigurlI think your comments could be expanded to the educational system as well as religious social movements as both are hugely influential in our developmental years in determining actual future outcomes as well as being very difficult to untangle.

I think at an early age, certain distinctions get blurred between mythology and provable hypothesis and then you have loaded language, the desire or requirement for supernatural intervention...I am surprised not to see the title:"The Real Frankenstein Found! The inspiration for Mary Shelly's Novel Revealed?"

All of these layers of blurred distinctions are rife in the old adage if belief supersedes analysis, you can find evidence for anything. The game of self referential language, suggestion and inference.

Using your example, I agree that the actual anomalous events, and our reactions to them talk past one another. We loath holes and will fill them up with anything halfway useful lying around as a contingent solution that blurs and prevents any tenable solution.
